A 10-cm-long spring is attached to theceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it,the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.a.Wh

alekssr [168]

(a) 392 N/m

Hook's law states that:

$F=k\Delta x$ (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant

$\Delta x$ is the stretching/compression of the spring

In this problem:

- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

$F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N$

- The stretching of the spring is

$\Delta x=15 cm-10 cm=5 cm=0.05 m$

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

$k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{19.6 N}{0.05 m}=392 N/m$

(b) 17.5 cm

If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

$F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=29.4 N$

And so, the stretch of the spring is

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{29.4 N}{392 N/m}=0.075 m=7.5 cm$

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

$x_0 = 10 cm$

The final length will be

$x_f = x_0 +\Delta x=10 cm+7.5 cm=17.5 cm$

The speed of an arrow fired from a compound

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

A.) The arrow`s range is 624,996 m

B.) The arrow`s range is 846.887 m, when the horse is galloping

Explanation:

We have a case of oblique movement. In these cases the movement in the X axis is a Uniform Rectelinear Movement (URM), and a Uniform Accelerated Movement (UAM) in the Y axis.

By the way, the equations that we use for the X axis will be from URM, and those for the Y axis wiil be from UAM.

<u>Equations</u>

X axis:

$X=v_{ox}*t$

$v_{0x} =v_0cos(\alpha)$

Y axis:

$Y= Y_0 +v_{y0} t - \frac{g}{2} t^2$

A.) First, it is necessary to know t, total time.

To figure out t value, we use UAM, since time is determined by this movement.

Now, at the end of the movement, $Y=0$ , then

$0= Y_0 +v_{y0} t - \frac{g}{2} t^2$

$0=2.4m+79m/s*sin(39)t-(1/2*9.81m/s^2)t^2$

Caculate the segcond degree equation to obtain the two possible values for t:

$t_1= 10.18 \\t_2= -0.04046$

But, in physics, time it could not be negative, so we take $t_1= 10.18$

Caculate now:

$X=79m/s*cos(\39)*10.18s= 624.996 m$

B.) Now, the narrow has an additional speed, that could be sum to the speed due to the bow.

$v_0= 79m/s+13m/s= 92m/s$

Using the same procedure that item A, caculate X

First, we need to know the new time

$0=2.4m+92m/s*sin(39)t-(1/2*9.81m/s^2)t^2$

And we obtain:

$t_1=11.845s\\t_2=-0.041s$

One more time, we take the positive time: $t_1=11.845s$

Finally:

$X=92m/s *cos(39)*11.845s=846.887 m$

A car travels 50 km in 25 km /h and then travels 60km with a velocity 20 km/h and then travels 60km with a velocity 20 km/h in t

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

v = 21.25 km/h

The average velocity is 21.25km/h

Explanation:

Average velocity = total displacement/time taken

v = d/t

Given;

A car travels 50 km in 25 km /h

d1 = 50km

v1 = 25km/h

time taken = distance/velocity

t1 = d1/v1

t1 = 50/25 = 2 hours

and then travels 60km with a velocity 20 km/h

d2 = 60km

v2 = 20km/h

t2 = d2/v2 = 60/20

t2 = 3 hours

and then travels 60km with a velocity 20 km/h in the same direction

d3 = 60km

v3 = 20km/h

t3 = d3/v3 = 60/20

t3 = 3 hours

Average velocity = total displacement/total time taken

v = (d1+d2+d3)/(t1+t2+t3)

v = (50+60+60)/(2+3+3)

v = 170/8

v = 21.25 km/h

The average velocity is 21.25km/h
